BOARD OF EDUCATION - Toms River Regional Schools

Toms River, New Jersey, November 20, 2012
As we do every month, the committee reviewed the expenditures listed on the
Purchasing Agenda. The Purchasing Agenda also included change notices, items of zero
value, permission to advertise, bids and resolutions. Questions were asked by various
individual board members, which were answered by Mr. Doering and other members of
our administration. The Purchasing Agenda for this month is in the amount of
$3,157,692.89 for the 2012/2013 school year. The Budget & Finance Committee is
recommending the approval of the Purchasing Agenda by the full Board this evening.
The Committee then reviewed facility lease and corporate sponsorship agreements,
which are on the agenda and also recommended for approval tonight. The events being
approved for the John Bennett Athletic Center are of course subject to the facility be
ready and available for use subsequent to the necessary repairs.
Finally, the committee discussed scheduling a special Budget and Finance
Committee meeting on November 28, 2012 at 6:30 P.M. for the presentation of the June
30, 2012 audit. This will be duly advertised.
The following is a list of bills requiring further explanation from the November 13, 2012
Budget and Finance Committee meeting:
1. Page 3, Allied Boiler, 13-72581 – this was for replacing a tube within a boiler at
East Dover, where the boilers are many years old.
2. Page 52, award of bid to Central Bus Service – This quote is for a High School
North student who was placed by DYFS in Forked River.
I believe all other questions were satisfactorily answered at the meeting.
Building & Grounds – Mr. Givone
Mr. Giovine echoed the comments that other board members had made and
specifically recognize the buildings & grounds crew who is his opinion did an exemplary
job over the past few weeks in maintaining and preventing massive damage and also
recovering what Sandy left behind. My thoughts and thanks go out to them.
